I would like this blog to be of dual purpose… I am here to entice you to join me with a network marketing company that I am representing, a very noteworthy company because of its straight forward approach to earning money. There are no gimmicks, no mirrors, no fees, no investment and no risk. I’ve already stated this in my last blog. Now I would like to tell you more before I lead you to my web page. The other thing on my mind is healthy heart awareness. In a way, a completely different category, but the two are linked because of certain health products that this company manufactures here in the US.

Acid reflux and chest pain can present some form of danger to a heart patient. The chest pains are quite common, some individuals are not aware that what they are suffering is no longer acid reflux and chest pains but already the onset of a heart attack.

Before going any further, let us first identify what acid reflux is and its relation to chest pain.

1) A burning sensation in your throat due to stomach acid. This happens to be an extension of the heartburn pain caused by acid reflux. Any pain caused by stomach acid regurgitating into the esophagus and mouth is normally due to acid reflux. Surprisingly this has little to do with the heart.

2) A few major signs of definite acid reflux include coughing, wheezing, acid regurgitation, and high levels of bitterness in the mouth. The acid entering the esophagus is to blame for each of these symptoms. Pregnant women are more prone to heartburn during the last two trimesters when a growing fetus crowds most of the space which the stomach takes up. For these women, understanding their risk of heartburn is particularly high.

What Is Acid Reflux?

The esophagus is a muscular tube that connects our mouth to our stomach.  This circular muscle contracts to bring foods and liquids to the stomach.  In the stomach is where acid develops.  Our stomach acids do not normally reflux (go up into) our lower esophagus because of esophageal pressure that keeps the acid down in the stomach.  Now, if that pressure does decrease for some reason, acid from the stomach can flow backwards into the lower esophagus.  Unlike the stomach which has a protective barrier from acid, the lower esophagus is actually burned when it is exposed to stomach acid.
 
Now any of you who have read my other articles will probably know what I am going to say next.  What happens to the esophagus when it is repeatedly exposed to stomach acid?  (Riigghhtt).  The acid causes loads of free radicals to release, which leads to oxidative stress, which leads to inflammation and damage to the esophagus.

The symptoms people get from reflux are mostly chest pressure, heart burn or chocking.  The longer the symptoms occur the more likely you are to develop “reflux esophagitis” and “Barrett’s esophagus” – a pre-cancerous condition.
